Suguru Inohit a 2-run homer to left-center off Takashi Kawaii in the 2nd inning. Ino didn't have a very positive outing on the 16th when he was behind the plate when Satoshi Nagai allowed 5 runs in the first inning. He was also promptly yanked from the game by Senichi Hoshino (he was no longer in the line-up in the 2nd inning).
